Antivirus which can disinfect valid files without deleting them

[WinXPert]

mine isn't. and i'm basing everything in what i experience on my pc with system restore

I knew we are talking of different things. My focus is System Restore (plain vanilla) which is different from Windows Backup/Previous Versions. I don't use Windows Backup

Quick question. Would Webroot's rollback feature help in recovering those files?

@Vasudev

Backup copy of original clean (safe) file ?

Yes.

 

[hjlbx]

Yes.

Only if you performed a file backup of the original file - or - had an automatic file backup scheduled...

I think consider the scanner product of Dr.Web CureIT which does the same function to disinfect the files as much as possible, so goes to Kaspersky Rescue Disk/Removal Tool.

You may consider ESET as they have features on how the disinfection process should covered either from simple to strict cleaning.

repairing = failing , so better find the best one in prevention.

This thread has jumped all over the place.

The best action you can take to prevent losing any documents is as stated in a couple replies "back them up externally"
You are never guaranteed an intact file after removing malware with any solution.
